Description

We see increasing use of HttpFS as a compatibility bridge and also as a bridge between different security domains. As it gains more users, people are finding missing pieces and bugs in it. There already are efforts to tackle some of these issues and this jira aims to make ongoing works and future works more coherent. I do not really want to make it as a umbrella jira, but a place for recording all related works. That way, one can easily figure out what is missing in their version of HttpFS and what to backport, if necessary.
